Property summary
This ancient farmhouse called "La Fornace" dates back to 1891 and is located in one of the most charming settings of the Florentine Chianti hills, at the crossroads between the provinces of Florence, Siena and Pisa, just a few minutes' drive from the Castelfalfi Golf Club, the largest golf course in Tuscany, which also includes the ancient village of Castelfalfi.
The property is a testimony to Tuscan history and architecture; the structure is made entirely of local stone and each room is characterised internally by typical Tuscan vaults, wooden beams and rafters with mezzanines, arches, stone walls and a fireplace.
All around is the private garden and the land of about 8 hectares that includes 250 olive trees, from which an excellent Tuscan extra virgin olive oil is produced. Replanting rights for a vineyard of about 1 hectare are also available. For more land, it is possible to purchase additional neighbouring land that includes olive grove and vineyard.
The property includes a swimming pool of approximately 5x10 metres, a pond, the main farmhouse, barn, cellars and various agricultural outbuildings. The main farmhouse has maintained the spaces and the characteristic of a single farmhouse, with an internal stone staircase connecting the ground floor to the first floor, and currently consists of 4 flats that are rented out for tourist use. The barn is divided into 2 flats, one on the ground floor with a garden and the other on the first floor with a panoramic terrace.
The farmhouse "La Fornace" takes its name from an ancient furnace that is located inside the property, which to this day remains the only evidence in the area of how bricks were produced, used for the construction of typical Florentine farmhouses in the early 20th century. The farmhouse, with its adjoining barn, has been renovated without distorting the original interior spaces.
From the property you can reach on foot the restaurant, bar and services such as SPA-wellness, horse riding, bicycle hire etc... A few minutes' drive from the house are suggestive villages such as San Gimignano and Volterra. In about an hour you can reach also Florence, Siena and Pisa and the beaches of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The property is nestled in the Chianti hills, surrounded by extensive olive groves and vineyards that stretch as far as the eye can reach. Strategically positioned halfway between the city of Siena and Florence, this estate offers the perfect balance between tranquillity and comfort. Its proximity to Montaione provides easy access to the area's services and tourist and cultural attractions, while the proximity of the motorway, about 16 kilometres away, makes it easy to explore the entire region or to reach key points of interest such as the airports of Florence and Pisa in a short time.
